(To  the  Council  of  the  ^Vcadnmi  of  ^ciencro, 

of  $an  Francisco,  California: 

I  respectfully  ask  your  patient  consideration  of  the 
contents  of  the  paper  which  I  now  place  within  your 
keeping,  and  further  ask  that  you  retain  it  on  tile 
until  such  time  as  its  information  may  be  discovered 
to  lir  of  no  value  to  science.  This  request  is  made, 
not  only  in  protection  of  my  own  personal  interests 
as  the  discoverer  of  the  truths  described  within  the 
paper,  hut  as  a  recognition  of  the  courtesy  due  your 
official  body,  as  executors  of  the  Jack  Trust,  which, 
you  are  well  aware,  was  transferred  to  you  for  the 
special  advancement  of  science,  or  fundamental 
truth.  The  contents  of  the  paper,  or  its  purported 
discoveries,  are  of  course  placed  within  the  keeping 
of  your  council  as  ;r  hody,-'U'i<ider  the  trust,  or  within 
the  keeping  of  any  single  member,  or  members, 
or  to  any  outsider  that  may  he  designated  by  your 
council,  to  he  utilized  or  reduced  to  practical  inves- 
tigation in  any  manner  that  you  or  they  may  deem 
proper  and   expedient. 

Regarding  this  matter  that  is  now  brought  before 
you,  1  will  explain  further  that  I  have  applied  tor  a 
copyright  upon  a  hook,  setting  forth  in  careful  detail 
what  I  deem  to  he  convincing  proofs  of  tin'  truth  of 
the  discoveries.  Also  have  I  sent  to  Washington  a 
paper  similar  to  the  one  now  before  you,  to  he  placed 
on  record  in  the  proper  department,  and  to  which  I 
shall  urge  the  attention,  in  the  interest  of  absolute 
truth,  of  any  one  competent,  to  force  the  matter  to  an 
issue.  Also  have  1  already  taken  steps  to  -end  an 
appeal,  through  our  American  Consul  at  London,  to 
Victoria,  Queen  of  England,  laying  the  fact-  before 
her,  which  are  now  presented  to  you,  and  asking  her 


to  call  the  attention  of  the  Royal  Society  of  England 
to  the  fact  that  the  science  of  chemistry  as  it  is  now 
outlined  and  taught  throughout  the  whole  civilized 
world  is  sadly  in  need  of  review  and  reconstruction. 
I  have  also  sent  a  paper,  with  explanations,  to  the 
Royal  Observatory  at  Greenwich,  England.  I  make 
these  admissions  to  you  to  let  you  know  that  1,  as  a 
student  of  the  same  science,  am  urged  onward  by  the 
courage  of  my  convictions,  and  firmly  believe  that  1 
hold  the  key  to  a  solution  of  many  mysteries  that 
are  at  the  present  day  agitating  the  entire  field  of 
science  ;  and  this,  simply  on  account  of  errors  that 
exist  in  this  great  substratum  of  all  the  other  super- 
structural  sciences. 

As  the  proper  handling  of  the  methods  of  proof 
involve  an  almost  limitless  field  of  minor  or  relative 
discoveries,  it  will  be  impossible  for  me  to  present  to 
you  in  the  paper  anything  more  than  a  most  restricted 
outline  of  a  few  of  the  errors  to  which  I  have  called 
your  attention. 

1  wish  to  add  further  that  these  discoveries,  after  a 
most  rigid  application  of  test  by  myself,  during  three 
years,  affect  every  other  branch  science  now  recog- 
nized by  the  civilized  world,  and  throw  a  flood  of 
light  or  understanding  upon  nearly  all  that  has  here- 
tofore been  regarded  within  those  fields  as  unfathom- 
able mysteries.  This  may  seem  to  you  a  broad  asser- 
tion, but  I  am  not  willing  to  withdraw  it  until  such 
time  as  I  may  be  convinced  by  others  to  be  myself  in 
error  of  perception;  a  circumstance,  1  can  consistently 
prognosticate,  that  will  never  transpire.  A  recog- 
nition of  this  fundamental  truth  now  brought  to  your 
notice,  and  hitherto  unrecognized  in  all  ages  of  the 
world,  whether  it  be  applied  as  blind  experimental 
theory  or  assumed  at  the  beginning  as  truth,  throws 
the  light  of  understanding  into  every  nook  and  corner 
of  the  science  of  Astronomy,  and  reduces  its  unpro- 
ductive  theories    ninety-nine   per  cent.      It    fixes  the 


5 

exact  constitution  of  the  Sun,  thai  of  interplanetary 
space,  explains  the  mysteries  of  comets  and  satellites, 
and,  if  the  investigator  be  imbued  with  the  proper 
degree  of  patience  and  a  genuine  desire  for  the  truth, 
will  gradually  enlarge  his  understanding  and  elevate 
him  to  a  rank  worthy  of  twentieth-century  progress. 
It  also  fixes  the  constitution  of  the  atmosphere  of  our 
own  earth  and  explains  the  invisible  atomic  pro- 
cesses, through  their  effects,  of  the  many  meteorologi- 
cal phenomena  with  which  every  one  is  familiar. 

It  also  throws  light  into  every  nook  and  corner  of 
the  great  science  of  Healing  (and  who  is  there  that 
has  not  felt  both  admiration  and  pity  for  the  dip- 
plomaed  devotees  of  this  science,  where  so  much  is 
enshrouded  in  mystery  and  the  best  of  efforts  are 
little  more  than  haphazard  attempts  to  cure  ?)  In 
this  science  it  brings  into  plain  view,  in  a  majority  of 
cases,  the  causes  of  disease,  and  initiates  new  unrecog- 
nized methods  of  diagnosing,  and  of  applying  reme- 
dies for  the  harmonious  condition  that  is  recognized 
as  health.  It  also  throws  light  into  the  science  of 
Anatomy,  and  explains  most  consistently  the  functions 
of  the  various  organs  and  matter  of  the  body,  and 
those  of  the  mysterious  ductless  glands.  It  further 
gives  insight  into  that  most  unscientific  environment 
of  the  human  body,  the  Psychic  realm  of  man,  and 
offers  consistent  explanations  for  its  interminable 
trail  of  mysteries.  It  reaches  downward  far  beneath 
the  powers  of  the  best  microscope  ever  invented,  and 
divulges  the  actual  connecting  link  between  the 
inorganic  matter  of  the  earth  and  its  various  organic 
kingdoms  ;  and  this,  notwithstanding  the  contrary 
opinions  of  such  world-renowned  men  as  Tyndall, 
Huxley  and  others  of  equal  rank.  It  places  within 
the  keeping  of  man  actual  knowledge  of  the  entire 
science  of  Bacteriology,  and  gives  him  the  power  of 
creating  microbes  at  will,  as  well  as  the  power  of 
recognizing  their  special  causes  and  the  power  of  dis- 


integrating    thera.     In   truth,    there  is   no  branch  of 

science,  from  the  lowest  to  the  highest,  which  does  not 
immediately  begin  to  unfold  its  interminable  mys- 
teries to  the  clear  light  of  ordinary  perception  under 
the  application  of  this  hitherto  unrecognized  truth. 
It  also  places  within  the  keeping  of  science  the  means 
of  recognizing  the  transformation  of  matter  in  the 
phenomenon  of  human  death,  and  it  no  doubt  will,  in 
the  near  future,  it  is  my  firm  belief,  furnish  indis- 
putable evidence,  to  be  recognized  and  accepted  by  the 
sciences  of  to-day,  of  the  existence  of  the  soul  after 
death. 

Before  enumerating  a  few  of  the  discoveries  which 
1  have  mentioned,  it  will  be  necessary  for  me  to 
call  your  attention  to  a  few  facts,  in  order  that  you 
may  clearly  understand  their  exact  nature  and 
outlines.  You  are  aware  that  the  securing  of  -all 
knowledge,  which  the  world  is  wont  to  call  science, 
is  through  the  exercise  of  human  sense,  and  particu- 
larly through  that  of  the  eye  and  ear.  One  of  the 
discoveries  made  by  myself  is  that  the  functions 
of  the  various  parts  of  the  eye  have  always  heretofore 
been  misunderstood;  that  they  do  not  exist  solely 
for  the  purpose  of  refracting  and  converging  rays  of 
"light"  (a  dubious  term),  hut  for  the  additional 
purpose  of  offering  media  for  the  continuity  of  like 
matter  through  the  atmosphere,  through  transparent 
matter,  through  the  eye  to  the  optic  nerve  of 
the  retina,  and  thence,  through  similar  matter  of  the 
nerves,  to  the  brain.  The  function  of  the  lachrymal 
glands  not  only  aids  their  effect,  hut  operates  the 
additional  function  of  presenting  at  all  times  a  base 
to  mitigate  the  acid   that  is  present  in  light. 

The  other  preliminary  fact  to  which  1  wish  to  call 
your  attention  is  thai  the  processes  of  the  securing 
of  all  knowledge  are  conducted  in  an  atmosphere 
the  constituents  of  which  have  never,  since  the 
foundations  of  the  world   were    laid,   been    definitely 


settled.  A.gain,  a  so-called  new  constituent  was 
discovered  in  L894  only,  by  Lord  Rayleigh  and 
Prof.  Ramsay;  so  the  world  lias  been  informed. 
Consequent^',   when   experiments   are  conducted    by 

men  of  renown  in  the  various  fields  of  science,  in  an 
atmosphere  the  constitution  of  which  is  unknown, 
and  through  the  agency  of  "  Light,"  when  they 
will  openly  acknowledge  that  they  do  not  know 
of  what  matter  Light  is  composed;  and  through 
the  medium  of  the  spectroscope  and  the  lenses  of 
the  microscope  and  telescope,  as  well  as  that  of 
the  photographic  camera;  when  they  arc  not  cog- 
nizant of  the  natural  law  governing  cohesion,  and 
are  not  aware  of  the  constitution  of  common  trans- 
parent glass,  is  it  a  matter  of  great « surprise  that 
these  errors  of  so-called  science  have  reacted  and 
have  resulted  in  the  propagation  and  accumulation 
of  illusions  and  mysteries  that  continue,  even  to  the 
present  hour,  to  defy  every  human  effort  at  solution  ? 

1  also  wish  to  recall  to  your  notice  that  the  science 
of  Chemistry  was  given  its  present  outline  and 
status  at  a  conclave  of  representative  men  from  the 
foremost  civilized  countries,  about  fifteen  years  ago, 
at  London,  and  under  the  auspices  of  the  Royal 
Society  of  England.  It  is  therefore  my  belief  that, 
aided  by  our  American  Consul  in  London,  I  may 
he  able  to  reach  that  branch  of  the  Society  that  may 
he  the  most  closely  affected  by  the  errors  to  which 
1  have  alluded,  and  to  engage  its  consideration  of 
them,  which,  it  cannot  he  denied,  seriously  affect  the 
welfare  of  the  whole  human  family. 

I  ask  also  to  inform  you  that  two  years  ago  I 
placed  the  matter  of  these  discoveries  in  hook  form 
and  sent  it  to  the  Humboldt  Pub.  Co.,  of  New  York. 
The  Company,  after  the  lapse  of  nearly  a  year, 
declined  to  purchase  the  MS.,  hut  expressed  a 
favorable  opinion  of  its  contents,  ami  promised  that 
if  another    Publishing    linn   would   bring  the  matter 


8 

before  the  public,  it  would  do  all  it  could  to  push 
the  sale  of  the  book  in  New  York  and  elsewhere. 
The  contents  of  the  book,  as  you  will  soon  learn, 
completely  overturns  the  science  of  Chemistry,  and 
presents  its  matter  with  the  interminable  properties 
of  the  latter,  in  an  entirely  new  light.  The  con- 
servatism and  caution  of  the  Company  were  therefore 
only  justifiable.  Upon  the  advice  of  this  Company, 
I  then  sent  the  matter  to  a  Chicago  firm  for  in- 
spection. The  latter  firm  did,  upon  its  receipt, 
submit  its  matter  to  a  number  of  critics,  who  finally 
were  "  unable  to  arrive  at  any  decision  "  concerning 
the  truth  of  the  subject  matter,  and  I  was  duly 
informed  of  the  fact.  After  this  I  sent  an  outline 
of  the  'matter  of  the  book,  with  its  various  dis- 
coveries, which  are  very  great  in  number,  being- 
culled  from  nearly  all  the  branch  sciences,  to  both  I). 
Appleton  &  Co.,  and  Harper  Bros.,  of  New  York;  also 
to  the  Houghton,  Mifflin  Co.,  of  Boston.  The  former 
two  declined  even  to  look  at  a  MS.,  that  attempted, 
unsupported,  to  overthrow  a  scientific  structure  that 
had  stood,  uncriticised,  during  a  whole  century.  The 
latter  firm  agreed  to  inspect  the  book,  but  candidly 
expressed  their  doubts  of  the  merit  of  a  work  of 
such  great  latitude.  After  this  experience  I  decided 
that  my  endeavors  to  have  the  book  published, 
except  at  my  own  private  expense,  would  be  perfectly 
useless,  on  account  of  the  inability  of  the  readers 
or  critics  of  these  or  other  Publishing  Companies 
to  handle  the  matter  in  a  manner  to  mold  public 
opinion.  The  truth  of  the  purported  discoveries 
ought  to  be,  I  am  now  convinced,  settled  by  a 
number  of  the  scientific  world's  representative  men, 
in  a  body,  and  not  by  any  Publishing  firm's  hired 
"reader"  or  critic.  I  am,  therefore,  at  the  present 
time  without  the  funds  that  I  otherwise  should  have 
had,  could  I  have  disposed  of  my  MS.,  and  am  con- 
sequently compelled    to  appeal   to  you  for  assistance. 


To  the  end  thai  I  may  be  able  to  go  eastward 
and  to  bring  these  discoveries  to  the  notice  of 
prominent  men  in  our  own  country,  thai  they  may 
be  thoroughly  investigated;  also,  that  I  maybe  able 
to  visit  Europe  and  to  bring  to  the  notice  of  in- 
vestigators, not  only  in  England,  but  in  France  and 
Germany,  that  the  science  of  Chemistry  as  now 
outlined  is  sadly  in  need  of  reform;  also,  in  order 
that  1  may  possess  unrestricted  freedom  during 
ray  visit  in  overcoming  the  prejudices  (should  any 
exist)  and  accumulated  errors  of  a  century,  1  must 
receive  financial  support,  either  from  your  council, 
in  furtherance  of  the  intentions  of  James  Lick,  or 
from  some  outside  source  that  may  he  reached  by 
your  council  or  any  of  its  members.  It  i>  a  sacred 
duty,  the  performance  of  which,  if  undertaken  alone, 
might  fail  of  beneficial  results. 

And  with  these  preliminary  remarks,  I  now- 
lay  before  you,  in  your  official  capacity,  a  small 
number  of  discoveries,  culled  from  my  hook,  and 
that  have  been  made  during  a  few  years'  close  study  <>t 
the  Various  sciences.      I  am, 

Yours  with  great  respect,

EXTRACTS    FROM 

Atomism,  or  the  Science  of  Color 

By    EMMA    G.   TODD. 

(Copyrighted  l8g8.  > 

1.  All  the  matter  within  the  universe, both  within 

<>ur  planetary  system  and  without,  as  far  as  human 
eye  can  reach  through  the  most  effective  telescope 
ever  invented,  is  composed  of  four  gases  only.  Conse- 
quently, the  seventy  (and  over)  elements  of  the 
science  of  chemistry,  with  these  four  exceptions  only, 
are  an  illusion,  the  means  being  at  hand,  at  all  times, 
of  disintegrating  all  of  them  into  their  natural  con- 
stituents. 

2.  Oxygen  does  not  exist  as  an  element,  hut  is 
composite.  All  metals  are  composed  of  the  four 
gases  in  cohesion,  in  varying  proportions.  Mercury  is 
composed  of  three  gases.  Chlorine  of  two  gases. 
Sulphur  of  two  predominating  gases,  and  lesser  vibra- 
tions of  the  other  two.  All  of  the  other  suspicious 
elements  of  the  science  of  chemistry,  excepting  the 
four  gases  herein  specified,  are  composed  of  the  four 
(or  three)  gases  mentioned,  in   varying  proportions. 

3.  The  chemical  laboratory  and  spectrum  analysis 
furnish  absolute  proof  of  the  composition  of  all  the 
so-called  elements  of  the  science  of  chemistry,  with 
four  exceptions  only,  which  are  absolute  elements. 

4.  The  four  gases,  or  four  elements  of  the  universe, 
are  here  named  in  the  order  of  their  importance  : 

Hydrogen. 
Phosphorus. 
(  Jarbon. 
Nitrogen. 


11 

The  oxygen  principle  throughout  nature  is  Phos 
phorus  in  disguise,  and  in  natural  compacl  with  its 
counterpart  elemenl  Hydrogen.  The  atomic  rela- 
tions of  the  science  of  chemistry,  as  the  hitter  is  now 
constructed,  arc  simply  theoretical,  and  their  actions 
i  I  lusionary. 

5.  The  modern  chemical  laboratory  furnishes 
proof  of  the  existence  and  action  of  acids,  bases  and 
salts,  and  attributes  the  acid  action  to  oxygen,  in 
varying  atomic  relations  with  other  elemental  matter 
The  absolute  truth  concerning  the  attractions  and 
repulsions  of  chemical  matter,  which  are  designated 
as  the  acid  affinities  for  bases,  the  union  of  which 
results  in  salts,  is  hereby  given:  Phosphorus  exists 
throughout  the  length  and  breadth  of  the  universe  as 
the  great  natural  Acid.  Consequently,  in  the  matter 
of  the  chemical  laboratory  it  is  still  the  acid  principle. 
Phosphorus  is  always,  throughout  the  entire  universe, 
in  natural  contact  or  relation  with  Hydrogen,  and 
can,  with  the  greatest  difficulty  only,  be  separated 
from  it;  neither  can  it  be  held  secure  from  it  in  the 
open  atmosphere  under  any  circumstances.  Hydro- 
gen is,  therefore,  the  great  Base  principle  of  nature. 
Water  is  one  of  the  natural  forms  of  acid  and  base. 
It  is  this  embedded  matter  (Hydrogen)  in  the  sup- 
posed elemental  bases  of  the  science  of  chemistry  that 
is  the  cause  of  the  affinity  that  is  known  to  exist 
between  the  composite  acids  and  the  composite  bases 
of  the  science. 

6.  Phosphorus  is  the  most  violently  vibrating 
element  in  the  universe,  and  exists  only,  in  cumula- 
tive force,  at  various  separated  points.  It  is  the 
violent  active  principle  in  all  fires,  or  flames,  or 
sparks,  or  incandescence,  or  acids,  or  luminosity  in 
any  form  throughout  the  whole  universe.  It  is 
present  in  every  cell  of  the  organic  kingdoms,  and,  of 
course,  is  present  in  every  cell  of  t  he  human  body. 
[ts  presence  in  the  eye  may  be  detected    by   any  one 


[2 

by  gentle  pressure  upon  the  eyeball.  This  light  in 
the  eye  has  Long  been  regarded  by  certain  branches  of 
the  medical  profession  as  an  abnormal  condition  of 
the    matter  of  the   organ,   and   has  been   designated 

Phoiopsia.  Other  scientists  of  a  late  day  have  ex- 
pressed the  belief  that  the  eye  absorbs  light  during 
the  day,  and  retains  it  for  a  certain  period,  and  that 
while  present  in  the  eye  it  may  he  detected.  The 
fundamental  truth  concern  in: g  these  theories  is  that 
the  eye,  or  organ  of  sight,  is  the  one  important 
medium  of  correlation  between  the. photosphere  of  the 
sun,  its  diffused  matter,  and  the  evolved  brain.  The 
same  embedded  phosphorus,  or  medium  of  light, 
which  is  only  sensation  of  phosphorus-vibration,  may 
be  witnessed  in  the  eyes  of  many  animals,  particularly 
in  those  of  the  cat.  The  phosphorescence  of  the  ocean. 
the  light  of  the  fire-fly  and  glow-worm,  thousands  of 
varieties  of  which  exist  in  the  tropical  regions,  are  a 
few  evidences  of  the  existence  of  Phosphorus  in  sub- 
jective relation  with  other  elements. 

7.  A  violent  natural  affinity  exists  between  Phos- 
phorus and  Hydrogen.  The  same  affinity  exists 
between  Phosphorus  and  Carbon.  The  affinity  that 
exists  between  the  former  two  tend,  however,  to  a 
mitigation  of  the  acid  or  burning  principle  by  the 
Hydrogen  in  its  function  as  the  subjecting  element. 
The  affinity  that  exists  between  the  Phosphorus  and 
the  Carbon,  on  the  contrary,  tend  to  the  greatest 
danger,  on  account  of  the  special  function  of  Carbon, 
which  is  aggregation. 

8.  The  function  of  each  of  the  four  gases  is  as  fol- 
lows: That  of  Phosphorus  is  violent  disintegration. 
Thai  of  Carbon  is  violent  aggregation.  That  of 
Hydrogen  is  amelioration  or  reduction  of  vibration, 
on  accounl  of  quantity  and  fineness  of  atoms.  On 
this  account  it  yields  to  compression  with  difficulty. 
and  is  accorded  the  position  as  thestandard  of  weight 
among  the  other  elements.     The  (unction  of  Nitrogen 


L3 


is  reduction  of  the  vibration  of  the  cell,  the  three 
other  elements  being  extremely  violent.  In  the  reduc- 
tion of  the  motions  of  the  composite  cell,  however, 
Nitrogen  is  invariably  aided  by  the  composite  matter 
of  water.  It  is  on  this  account  that  no  organic  king- 
dom can  evolve  without  the  aid  of  water.  Nitric  acid 
is  an  example  of  matter  where  thesubjective  Nitrogen 
is  in  loose  double  compact  with  Phosphorus, the  effed 
of  which  may  well  be  described  as  liquid  fire. 

9.  Quick  flashes,  or  sparks  of  incandescence, 
designate  vibrations  of  Phosphorus  and  Hydrogen,  in 
which  the  former  struggles  to  overcome  the  latter. 
The  quick  cessations  of  incandescence  mark  the  suc- 
cessful vibrations  of  the  Hydrogen  in  its  elemental 
function.  These  motions  of  matter  may  always  be 
witnessed  in  the  electric  spark,  lightning  (forked, 
sheet  or  globular),  in  flint  sparks,  the  sparks  of  com- 
bustion, etc. 

10.  Slow  and  steady  forms  of  vivid  incandescence, 
no  matter  where  existing,  or  in  what  manner  pro- 
duced, mark  the  united  vibration  of  Phosphorus  and 
Carbon,  or  a  condition  in  which  the  vibrations  of  the 
latter  have  not  been  entirely  overcome  by  those  of  the 
Hydrogen.  Luminous  nebulae,  marsh  gas,  the  flames 
of  candles,  coal  gas,  "water  gas,"  coal  oil,  electric 
carbon  lights,  incandescent  electric  lights  of  smaller 
construction,  and  acetylene  are  examples  of  the  latter 
Aeetvlene  proceeds  from  an  unconscious  utilization 
of  the  four  universal  elemental  vibrations.  One 
method  of  securing  Acetylene  gas  is  through  the 
media  of  an  electric  cm-rent  [Phosphorus  and  Hydro- 
gen), Carbon  points,  and  in  an  atmosphere  of  Hydro- 
gen. Another  method  of  creating  Acetylene  is 
through  the  united  agency  <»f  lime  (embedded  Phos- 
phorus) and  hot  coals  (Phosphorus  and  Carbon). 

11.  Phosphorus  and  Hydrogen  are  the  most 
violently  vibrating  elements  in  the  universe.  The 
former    element    is    the   absolute  source  of  all  motion . 


u 

.The  united  vibrations  of  these  two  elements,  and' 
unsubjected  by  either  of  the  two  others,  is  recognized 

in  the  force  known  as  Electricity.  When  the  Phos- 
phorus predominates  in  the  double  vibration  the 
electric  spark  or  steady  form  of  incandescence  results. 
When  Hydrogen  predominates  in  the  double  vibra- 
tion the  electricity  is  invisible,  but  its  effects  may 
become  sensible  or  visible,  though  not  in  incan- 
descence. The  dark  room  of  the  photographer  results 
necessarily  from  the  special  disintegrating  acid 
function  of  the  Phosphorus  of  the  atmosphere,  of  sun- 
light, of  artificial  incandescence,  and  of  subdued 
light,  or  even  of  the  light  of  deep  shadows.  The 
presence  of  Phosphorus  in  the  atmosphere  at  all  times 
explains  the  reason  why  photographers  are  able  to 
secure  impressions  in  cloudy  weather.  The  sensitive 
films  used  in  this  art  are  unconsciously  constructed  of 
matter  that  excludes  Phosphorus,  or  that  prevents  the 
inertia  of  Phosphorus  by  Hydrogen. 

12.  The  exact  constitution  of  the  atmosphere  of 
our  earth  is  Hydrogen,  Phosphorus,  Nitrogen  and 
Carbon.  A  mutual  relation  or  interchange  of  atoms 
exists  at  all  times  between  the  animal  and  vegetable 
kingdoms  of  the  earth.  The  atmosphere  is  the  un- 
cohered  crust  or  envelope  of  the  planet  within  which 
all  kingdoms  have  evolved.  The  crust  is  the  cohered 
atmosphere  or  envelope  from  which  the  evolved  king- 
doms secure  their  atoms  of  replenishment.  The  con- 
stitution of  one,  therefore,  must  be  exactly  the  same 
as  that  of  the  other;  and  it  is  a  simple  illusion  to  sup- 
pose that  one  can  possibly  possess  a  constitution 
different  from  that  of  the  other.  Tin'  crust  cohered 
from  outward,  inward,  and  not  vice  versa.  Innate 
recognition  of  the  actual  relations  of  die  four  gases 
which  will  lead  the  enquirer  into  the  actual  methods 
by  which  all  meteorological  phenomena  are  produced 
sustains  the  truth  that  no  foreign  element  exists  in 
the  atmosphere  outside  the  four  universal    gases    men- 


15 

"tinned.     The  constitution  of  the  glass  of  the  spectro- 
scope, and  it-  effects  also,  sustain  the  same  truth. 

13.     The  natural  absolute  vibrations  of  each  of  the 
four  different  elements,  in  its  functional  relation  with 

the  others,  are  widely  different.  The  special  vibra- 
tion of  Hydrogen  results  in  Blue  sensation,  or  in  a 
state  of  cohesion  that  invariably  produces  Blue  sensa- 
tion. All  color  identifies  the  final  vibration  of  a 
special  gas  or  gases.  The  special  vibration  of  Phos- 
phorus results  in  Incandescent  sensation,  or  in  pale 
Yellow  sensation,  or  in  the  Glitter  of  metals,  or  of 
any  cohered  matter  in  the  inorganic  kingdom,  or  of 
any  organism  within  the  higher  kingdoms.  Deep 
Yellow  sensation  is  a  double  vibration  of  Phosphorus 
and  Hydrogen,  as  seen  in  sulphur.  An  approach  to 
even  vibrations  of  these  two  elements,  or  a  condition 
in  which  the  vibrations  of  the  Phosphorus  are  only 
partially  reduced  by  those  of  the  Hydrogen,  results  in 
Green  sensation,  or  in  cohered  effects  which  can  pro- 
duce only  degrees  of  this  sensation.  Nitrogen,  either 
in  the  atmosphere  or  in  cohered  matter,  results  in 
Red  sensation,  or  in  a  state  of  cohesion  that  can  only 
produce  degrees  of  this  effect.  All  recognition  of 
colors,  either  by  method  or  sight,  is  in  the  absolute 
only  predominating  vibrations  of  either  of  the  four 
gases,  or  complex  vibrations  of  any  or  all  of  them, 
which  communicate  their  effects  upon  relative  matter 
in  the  atmosphere,  through  the  eye,  to  the  termini  of 
the  optic  nerve  in  the  retina.  Black  sensation  or 
effects  results  from  Carbon.  On  account  of  the 
dangerous  affinity  between  Phosphorus  and  Carbon, 
the  latter  element  is  greatly  lacking  in  the  eye  of  the 
animal  kingdom.  Consequently,  the  sensation 
received  from  the  element  Carbon  may  be  termed 
either  color  or  lack  of  color.  The  lachrymal  secretion, 
which  is  rich  in  Blue,  stands  guard  over  the  violent 
Phosphorus  or  Carbon-Phosphorus  vibration  in  the 
eye   and   atmosphere,  and   permits   the   act    which  is 


16 

known    as    "seeing."     Blue    sky,    blue    flames,    blue 

smoke,  Mue  organic  matter,  blue  insects  and  animals. 
the  blue  blood  and  blue  eves  of  the  animal  kingdoms, 
and  blue  fruits  and  flowers,  are  predominating  Hydro- 
gen effects.  Pursuit  of  investigation  in  any  direction 
has  sustained  the  truth,  and  will  ever  continue  to 
sustain  it. 

Yellow  or  golden  clouds,  clouds  with  a  silver  lining, 
a  yellow  or  glittering  sky,  yellow  sunlight,  the 
luminosity  of  planets,  "falling  stars/'  all  manner  of 
incandescence  or  phosphorescence,  in  combustion  or 
without,  the  golden  or  silver  glitter  of  metals  or  of 
any  other  kind  of  inorganic  matter,  the  silver  glitter 
of  fishes,  the  glitter  of  the  bodies  or  wings  of  insects, 
the  sparkling  of  water,  the  yellow  effects  in  the 
vegetable  kingdom,  the  yellow  feathers,  hair,  skin  and 
excretions  of  the  animal  kingdom,  yellow  oils,  all 
proceed  from  the  intense  vibrations  of  Phosphorus 
that  have  been  partially  or  entirely  subdued  by  the 
other  gases.  The  Green  color  of  the  vegetable  king- 
dom (chlorophyl)  indicates  relative  vibrations  of  the 
Phosphorus  of  the  soil  under  the  protective  and 
vehicular  agency  of  sap,  or  water,  or  Hydrogen.  The 
Green  color  within  the  bulb  of  the  X  Kay  mechanism 
proceeds  from  even  vibrations  of  Blue  Hydrogen  and 
Yellow  Phosphorus  (Electricity),  and  is  simply  a  con- 
flicting mass  of  the  atoms  of  these  two  elements. 
The  Green  sky,  immediately  after  sunset,  produces  its 
effect  from  the  natural  Hydrogen  constituent  of  the 
atmosphere  and  the  reduced  vibrations  of  the  incan- 
descenl  Phosphorus  of  the  departing  "sunlight." 
Shadows  are  refracted  lines  of  Phosphorus  atoms,  or 
a  change  of  the  relation  of  the  four  gases  that  com- 
pose sunlight,  or  Light.  Sunlight  is  a  state  of  incan- 
descence that  results  from  an  increase  of  a  normal 
state  of  Phosphorus.  The  darkness  of  night  is  a  state 
of  refraction  lacking  in  the  continuity  of  the  Phos- 
phorus   that    causes    incandescence.      Hence,    the   cool

sensation,  which  results  from  Hydrogen,  with  the 
other  gases,  and  the  effects  of  dew.  frost,  night  rains 
and  night  breezes. 

Red   flames,  red  smoke,  red  sparks,   red   inorganic 
matter,  from    rubies  to   bricks,   red   fishes  and   Eruits 
and    flowers,    red     feathers,   and    hair,    and    skin,    and 
blood,  red    copper,  and  the   red-hot    state  of   metals, 
the    rosy  clouds   of   sunrise  and    sunset,  the    rosy  hues 
of   coral,    and    the  dull,     red    algse    of    the    ocean,  all 
proceed    from    the    subjective    relation   of  the  element 
Nitrogen  to  the  superior  vibrations  of  the  other  gases. 
The    matter    of    the    effects    of    rainbows    and    soap- 
bubbles    will    guide   the    investigator    to    conviction. 
All     white     sensations     proceed     from     a     subjective 
relation   of  the   Phosphorous   to  the  Hydrogen,  with 
the    aid    of    hidden    Nitrogen    and    Carbon.     White 
cumuli   clouds  show  the  effect  of  the  Nitrogen  of  the 
atmosphere,  also   white   steam.      White  starch,  or  the 
matter   of  cereals,  white    milk   and  other   emulsions, 
the     white     skin     of     the     Caucasian      race,     indicate 
superior  vibrations    of    Phosphorous   and    Hydrogen, 
and  hidden  vibrations  of  Carbon  and   Nitrogen.     The 
latter   element    is   greatly  lacking   in    the  animal   eve, 
except  as  free  gas,  hence   the  white  effect.      A   certain 
relation    of   Carbon   and    Nitrogen    in    the    eye   would 
result    in    cohesion    and    opacity.      It    is   known    that 
cataracts  of. the  eye,  or  blindness,  result  from  a  foreign 
relation    of    Nitrogen,    or    Carbon,    or   both,    as    all 
opacity  proceeds  from  a  single  cause. 

14.  All  matter  in  the  universe  is  either  invisible, 
transparent,  or  possesses  special  or  complex  color. 
The  Colors  of  cohered  matter  may  be  easily  separated, 
when  they  will  attach  themselves  to  the  special 
<dements  previously  described:  Blue  Hydrogen, 
Yellow  or  Incandescent  or  Glittering  Phosphorous, 
Black  Carbon,  and  Red  Nitrogen.  In  all  cohered 
matter,  either  one  or  more  of  the  elements  and  its 
respective    color-vibration    are    hidden    or    absorbed. 


18 

No  cohered  matter  can  possibly  be  transparent  except 
through  the  vibrations  of  Phosphorous  or  the  inertia 
of  embedded  Phosphorous. 

15.  The  elements  Nitrogen  and  Carbon  are  the 
cause  of  all  cohesion,  in  any  form,  and  are  the  great 
base  of  all  metals.  On  account  of  the  affinity  between 
Phosphorus  and  Hydrogen,  and  Phosphorus  and  Car- 
bon, all  effects  that  possess  these  elements  in  excessof 
Nitrogen  may  be  either  transparent  or  rendered 
translucent  by  the  X  Ray,  or  by  other  methods. 
Nitrogen  in  certain  relation  with  the  other  elements 
is  the  absolute  cause  of  all  opacity. 

lb.  Heat,  either  sensible  in  warmth  or  violently 
disintegrating,  results  from  the  special  vibration  of 
universally  diffused  Phosphorus.  Latent  heat  results 
from  embedded  Phosphorus  in  all  matter,  the  vibra- 
tions of  which  have  been  overcome  by  either  Hydro- 
gen or  Nitrogen. 

17.  Light  is  composed  of  a  certain  relation  of 
Phosphorus  with  the  other  three  gases  of  the  atmos- 
phere. A  great  excess  of  Phosphorus  in  the  atmos- 
phere results  in  a  great  degree  of  Heat,  which  is  only 
another  term  for  the  disiiitegrating-vibration,  incipient 
or  increased.  Heat  during  refraction  of  sunlight,  as  at 
night  in  summer,  is  a  state  of  the  atmosphere  con- 
taining an  abnormal  quantity  of  reflected  or  escaping 
Phosphorus  that  has  become  implanted  in  matter 
during  the  incandescent  state.  Sunstroke  is  an  effect 
of  the  Phosphorus  of  the  atmosphere,  which  over- 
charges the  nerves  and  brain,  and  escapes  from  the 
protective  Hydrogen  of  these  organs. 

18.  The  absolute  source  of  all  Motion  throughout 
the  universe  is  the  Phosphorus  vibration,  acting 
under  the  universal  law  of  Compression,  or  continuity 
of  matter.  Outside  of  this  fundamental  law,  there 
could  be  no  relation  of  the  four  gases  and  no  cohered 
matter  or  evolved  forms.  The  inertia  or  rest  of  the 
tour  interlocked  vibrations  of  the  four  gases  manifests 


19 

itself  in  Cold  sensation,  or  in  cold  effects.  It  is  on 
this  account  that  all  metals,  when  not  artificially 
heated,  rocks,  glass,  china,  etc.,  feel  cold  to  the  touch. 
In  other  words,  the  absence  of  vibration  within  these 
kinds  of  matter  does  not  excite  the  Phosphorus  of  the 
nerves  of  the  papilhc.  hut  increases  the  effect  of  the 
Hydrogen  only  of  the  nerves. 

19.  ('old  sensation,  or  cold  effects  throughout 
nature  (ice,  snow,  hail,  etc.),  proceeds  from  one  abso- 
lute source  only,  which  is,  a  state  of  Hydrogen  in 
excess  of  Phosphorus.  In  all  natural  effects,  let  the 
relation  of  Phosphorus  and  Hydrogen  undergo  a 
change,  and  Heat  and  Cold  will  follow  respectively 
by  increase  or  decrease.  Consequently,  a  state  of 
violently-vibrating  Hydrogen  exists  at  the  poles  of  our 
earth,  producing  an  absorbing  effect  upon  all  bodies, 
rich  in  Phosphorus,  that  may  pass  into  those  regions. 
The  Aurora  Borealis  is  a  visible  effect  of  the  outflow- 
ing Hydrogen  at  the  poles  upon  the  Phosphorus  and 
other  gases  of  those  regions.  Winter  seasons  (aided 
by  slanting  solar  rays)  ami  sudden  blizzards  proceed 
from  the  same  cause.  Water  is  composed  of  Hydro- 
gen and  Phosphorus,  or  a  natural  base  and  acid.  Pet 
the  number  of  atoms  of  Hydrogen  in  a  given  quantity 
of  water  be  increased  and  the  relation  will  cause  a 
shifting  of  position  of  the  atoms,  and  will  turn  the 
water  to  ice.  Ice  is  simply  an  advanced  state  of  the 
cohesion  of  the  atoms  of  water  that  results  from  the 
increased  effect  ot  Carbon  and  Nitrogen,  which  have 
taken  the  place  of  the  relative  decrease  of  Phosphorus. 
But  let  the  Phosphorus  of  a  given  quantity  of  water 
he  increased  and  the  water  will  become  hot.  and  will, 
under  continued  increase,  soon  disintegrate  into  the 
two  gases.  Hail  is  formed  from  a  drift  of  Hydrogen 
that  is  in  excess  of  the  Phosphorus  of  upper  regions. 
Snow  is  formed  in  an  atmosphere  lacking  in  the 
excessive  Hydrogen  motion  that  produces  hail.  Clouds 
form    in    the    upper   regions    of    the    atmosphere    on 


20 

accounl  of*  the  excessive  Hydrogen  of  those  regions. 
Nitrogen,  which  lies  close  to  the  earth,  prevents  the 
formation  of  distinct  clouds  in  the  lower  stratum.  A 
shifting  relation  of  the  Nitrogen  with  the  other  gases, 
however,  aids  the  formation  of  fog,  which  is  only 
diffused  cloud  matter,  or  the  effect  of  Phosphorus  and 
Hydrogen  in  a  new  relation  of  Nitrogen  and  Carbon. 
The  opacity  of  fog  may  he  traced  to  Nitrogen,  or 
Nitrogen  and  Carbon  combined. 

20.  Following  these  lines  of  observation,  it  is  also 
discovered,  through  accumulated  knowledge  of  the 
relation  of  the  four  gases,  that  the  space  existing  be- 
tween planets  is  composed  of  pure  or  predominating 
Hydrogen,  outside  the  currents  which  are  known  to 
pass  through  space  and  to  encircle  planets,  nehuhe, 
etc.  If  Phosphorus  predominated  in  outer  space  the 
universe  would  be  transformed  to  one  great  sun.  with 
its  attendant  heat.  If  either  Carbon  or  Nitrogen  pre- 
dominated the  universe  would  be  transformed  to  solid 
coal  or  solid  iron,  or  approximate  effects.  Under 
either  of  these  conditions  no  planets  could  possibly 
cohere,  neither  could  an  organic  kingdom  evolve. 
All  conditions  exist  naturally,  and  existing  laws  are 
recognized  as  nature.  Consequently  Hydrogen,  as 
deduced  from  the  infallible  working  of  natural  law 
and  natural  effects  in  endless  profusion,  is  the  pre- 
dominating element  in  outer  space,  and  seizes 
violently  upon  Phosphorus  or  Carbon  whenever  con- 
ditions favor  the  contact.  The  element  Hydrogen. 
therefore,  surrounds  the  Sun  of  our  system,  and,  of 
course,  surrounds  each  of  the  planets  and  asteroids; 
and  it  is  concluded  in  sound  reason  that  it  must  also 
surround  all  stars,  suns,  asteroids  and  nehuhe  in  the 
universe.  The  blue  color  of  the  "sky"  of  our  own 
planel  is  due  directly  to  the  surplus  protective  Hydro- 
gen that  must,  in  its  natural  function,  stand  guard 
Over  the  Phosphorus  of  all  planets.      The  cause  of  the 

excessive  cold  of  the  upper  regions  of  our  atmosphere 


21 

(snow-capped  mountains  and  the  absen< t  vegeta- 
tion) is  due  to  the  excessive  Hydrogen  existing  in 
those  regions,  which  under  natural  law  surrounds  the 
planet,  and  is  continually,  during  the  earth's  revolu- 
tions, drawn  into  the  atmosphere,  and  is  one  of  its 
most  important  constituents.  Tliis  fact  is  not  recog- 
nized at  the  present  day  by  any  branch  of  science, 
wherever  existing,  neither  has  it  ever  been  recognized 
in  any  past  age;  all  schools  claiming, without  a  single 
exception,  that  Hydrogen  is  dangerously  inflammable, 
and  that  its  effects  in  composite  matter  only  are  to  be 
traced  in  our  atmosphere  ami  earth.  A  more  thorough 
recognition  of  the  mysterious  element  and  its  natural 
function  will  prove  it  to  he  the  very  opposite  of  what 
it  is  now  claimed  to  he.  It  is  the  one  elemenl 
identified  in  cold  sensation,  and  the  indisputable 
element  in  all  cold  effects,  of  whatever  nature;  the 
very  element  also  that  subjugates  Phosphorus  or  tire. 
Its  effects  are  witnessed  in  rain,  moisture,  dew,  clouds, 
fogs,  snow,  hail,  winds,  blizzards,  winter,  ozone,  the 
green  color  of  vegetation,  and  in  its  more  widely 
diffused  form,  the  oceans  of  the  earth.  Late  authen- 
ticated works  from  the  pens  of  the  most  advanced 
scientific  men  of  the  present  day  claim  that  our 
atmosphere  is  composed  of  four-fifths  Nitrogen  and 
one-fifth  Oxygen*  the  elastic  condition  serving  the 
purpose  of  a  vehicle  for  dust  or  anything  else  passing 
into  it.  Argon  is  the  latest  constituent,  said  to  be 
discovered  in  1894. 

L>1.  A  close  and  persistent  study  of  the  relation 
that  exists  between  these  four  pises  confirms  the 
truth  that  the  Sun  of  our  system  is  a  mass  of  Phos- 
phorus,    Hydrogen,    Carbon     and     Nitrogen,    acting

under  violent  Focal  Force.  Why  the  matter  of  the 
Sun  should  exist  as  a  Focus  it  will  be,  of  course,  im- 
possible for  any  one  to  ascertain,  outside  of  the  fact 
of  the  attraction  that  must  exist  between  its  Phos- 
phorus and  the  Hydrogen  of  interplanetary  space. 
But  upon  the  truth  (or  theory)  that  the  Sun  is  a  mass 
of  matter  under  focal  force  proceed  the  most  rational 
conclusions  concerning  "attraction"  of  planets, 
orbits,  eccentricities,  course  of  comets,  nebulous 
forms,  asteroids,  satellites,  meteorites  and  the  mys- 
terious periods  of  Time  that  affect  animal  and  human 
birth,  existence  and  death. 

22.  An  indisputable  knowledge  of  the  exact  rela- 
tion that  exists  between  the  four  gases,  and  which 
any  one  may  witness  by  simply  burning  a  paper  and 
closely  watching  the  colors,  or  "  vibrations,"  that  are 
communicated  to  the  eye,  fixes  the  exact  constitution 
of  the  Sun;  a  question  that  has  agitated  the  most 
advanced  minds  of  all  ages  since  humanity  came  upon 
the  earth.  The  most  careful  analysis  of  the  actions 
of  the  Sun's  diverse  matter  proclaim  it  to  be  as 
follows:  The  Sun's  photosphere  is  composed  of 
predominating  Phosphorus,  under  the  violent  action 
of  Carbon  gas,  and  inhaled  Hydrogen  gas,  secured 
from  interplanetary  space.  To  the  presence  of  Car- 
bon gas  is  due  the  existence  of  the  Sun.  For  without 
it  the  latter  would  soon  be  absorbed  by  the  excessive 
Hydrogen  of  space.  The  red  prominences  of  the  Sun, 
witnessed  in  the  corona,  may  be  infallibly  traced  to 
the  gas  Nitrogen,  though  under  the  violent  force  of 
the  two  most  excessively  vibrating  gases,  Phosphorus 
and  Carbon.  Sun  spots  mark  the  points  of  focal  in- 
halation and  reactive  exhalation,  or  a  grand  contest  of 
both  Hydrogen  and  Carbon  for  the  Phosphorus.  The 
white  faculse  mark  the  presence  of  all  four  of  the 
gases,  or  a  great  deficiency,  or  lack  of  Nitrogen.  It 
is  through  this  means  of  recognition  that  the  white 
spot  near  the  polar  region  of  the   planet  Mars  may  he 


23 

understood.  A  magnetic  pole  or  the  poinl  or  area 
marking  the  natural  outflow  of  Hydrogen,  and  a  con- 
densing absorbing  effect  upon  the  other  gases  (as 
proved  in  the  Aurora  Borealis)  would  resull  in  the 
white  sensation   proceeding  from  the  point  described. 

23.  The  reactive  exhalations  of  the  Sun  carry  cur- 
rents of  predominating  Carbon,  Nitrogen  and  Phos- 
phorus outward  through  the  predominating  Hydrogen 
of  interplanetary  space,  until  the  propelling  power  of 
the  Sun  is  overcome.  At  this  point  the  natural  vibra- 
tions of  the  gases  of  the  current,  which  always  move 
in  curves  or  spirals,  introbend  and  create  a  whirl- 
wind. Each  of  the  planets  and  asteroids  of  our  sys- 
tem is  the  nucleus  of  one  of  these  Carbon-Nitrogen- 
Phosphorus  whirlwinds,  and  which  continues  to  he 
fed  by  the  Sun  with  these  gases  at  the  present  day.  A 
close  study  of  the  matter  of  meteorites,  as  well  as  in- 
disputable knowledge  of  the  mutual  relation  of  the 
four  special  gases,  which  can  only  be  secured  through 
the  media  that  have  been  presented,  sustains  the  truth 
of  what  was,  during  an  earlier  investigation,  a  theory 
only.  The  outlets  of  these  planetary  whirlwinds  are 
at  the  poles  of  the  planets.  At  these  points  an  ex- 
haustive force  is  exerted  upon  everything  containing 
Phosphorus,  and  especially  upon  a  human  being, 
whose;  existence  depends  upon  the  continued  replen- 
ishment of  this  one  element.  At  the  poles,  therefore, 
direct  communication  exists  between  everything 
within  the  region  and  interplanetary  space,  through 
these  unprotective  rifts  of  the  envelope  of  our  planet. 
The  best  authenticated  theorists  of  the  present  day 
ascribe  the  cold  state  of  the  polar  regions  to  the  slant 
or  the  absence  of  solar  rays.  This  is  only  in  part  cor- 
rect, as  cold  is  Hydrogen,  and  produce-  effects  that  in- 
dicate a  decrease  or  withdrawal  of  the  Phosphorus, 
which  is  not  at  the  present  time  recognized  as  a  con- 
stituent of  the  atmosphere.

25.  Comets  arc  masses  of  Carbon  gas  that  have 
escaped  from  the  currents  thai  create  planets.  They 
are  utterly  lacking  in  Nitrogen,  which  is  the  heavy. 
resisting,  subjective  element  of  the  four.  The  affinity 
existing  between  Carbon  and  Phosphorus  causes  these 
masses  to  collect  the  Phosphorus  that  is  always  hid- 
den within  the  Hydrogen  of  interplanetary  space. 
Sunlight  is  material  and  is  composed  of  Phosphorus. 
An  excess  of  Hydrogen  will  absorb  or  hide  the  Phos- 
phorus of  sunlight  that  always  permeates  these 
regions.  It  is  an  indisputable  fact,  therefore,  that 
Comets  lack  Nitrogen,  and  are  outside  the  natural 
law  governing  the  mechanical  construction  of  planets. 
or  asteroids,  or  nehuhe.  Comets  travel  toward  the 
Sun,  through  the  outermost  limits  of  the  focal  force 
of  inhaled  Hydrogen,  and  being  utterly  without  the 
subjective  Nitrogen,  they  the  more  easily,  as  illumi- 
nated chaff,  become  subject  to  the  outward  propelling 
forces  of  the  Sun,  and  circle  around  it.  They  are  then 
drawn,  as  chaff,  into  the  outermost  limits  of  the  cur- 
rents that  proceed  from  the  Sun  to  planets.  In  trav- 
eling toward  the  Sun  the  tails  of  comets  stream  behind 
the  nuclei.  In  traveling  from  the  Sun  the  tails  shift 
position  and  stream  before  the  nuclei.  All  lumin- 
osity in  the  universe  proceeds  from  the  united  vibra- 
tions of  Carbon  and  Phosphorus, or  compressed  Phos- 
phorus alone.  And  Comets  offer  no  exception  to  the 
universal  law.  The  erratic  courses  of  Comets  mark 
the  existence  of  interplanetary  currents.  It  is  these 
currents,  not  of  Hydrogen  alone,  but  of  Carbon  and 
Nitrogen  in  subjective  relation,  that  causes  the  twink- 
ling of  certain  stars,  and  that  cause  Light,  or  Phos- 
phorus, to  travel  apparently  in  waves.  Comets, being 
devoid  of  the  degree  of  Nitrogen  required  lor  nebu- 
lous forms  or  planets,  cannot  possibly  penetrate  the 
violent  Nitrogen-Carbon" currents  that  encircle,  hold, 
and  continually  feed  planets.      Consequently  they  are 


25 

utterly  lacking  in  danger.  Their  uncohered  tails  are 
a  simple  evidence  of  lack  of  Nitrogen. 

26.  No  attraction,  in  the  true  signification  of  the 
word,  exists  between  planel  and  Sun.     Planets  and  all 

their  matter  are  propelled  from  the  Sun.  and  are  a 
reactive  effecl .  The  orbits  of  planets  are  created  by  the 
same  focal  force,  or  the  Phosphorus-Hydrogen  attrac- 
tion, that,  acts  upon  the  Sun.  It  is  through  this 
observation  that  effects  in  Magnetism  may  be  studied 
and  correct  knowledge  secured. 

27.  The  whirlwind  force  of  the  Nitrogen-Carbon 
current,  as  well  as  the  mutual  action  of  all  four  of 
the  gases,  creates  the  daily  and  yearly  revolutions 
of  the  planets. 

28.  All  meteorites  are  compressed  from  the  invis- 
ible gases  of  predominating  Carbon  and  Nitrogen, 
which  are  the  common  base  of  all  metals,  and  lesser 
proportions  of  Phosphorus  and  Hydrogen. 

29.  Gravitation  is  the  effect  of  both  centripetal 
force,  exerted  by  the  whirlwind  of  Carbon  and  Nitro- 
gen which  encircles  the  earth,  and  the  great  attraction 
that  exists  between  the  internal  Phosphorus  globe  of 
the  earth  and  the  Hydrogen  of  the  atmosphere  and  of 
space.  Consequently  Gravitation  proceeds  from  a  force 
from  without  the  atmosphere,  or  from  the  superior 
force  of  excessive  Hydrogen,  and  does  not  proceed 
from  attraction  exerted  from  within  the  crust  or 
Phosphorus  globe  within  the  center  of  a  planet,  on 
account  of  the  deficiency  of  the  latter.  Both  ele- 
ments, nevertheless,  exist  in  every  atomic  portion  of 
the  crust  of  our  earth,  and  within  every  cell  of  the 
organic  kingdoms,  and  within  every  portion  of  our 
atmosphere,  and  little  knowledge  can  he  secured  in  an 
attempt  to  attribute  the  force  to  one  (dement  more 
than  to  the  other.  It  is  sufficient  to  know  that  Gravi- 
tation is  simply  the  universal  attraction  that  exists 
between  the  Base  (Hydrogen)  of  the  atmosphere  and 
of  space,  and  the  Acid  (Phosphorus)  contained  within 


26 

the  Phosphorus  globe  beneath  our  earth's  crust.  This 
fact  also  proves  that  planets  are  not  attracted  by  the 
Sun,  on  account  of  the  Phosphorus  of  the  latter. 

30.  Weight  is  resistance  to  compression  from  a 
source  without  the  atmosphere,  and  is  not  resistance 
to  a  force  exerted  from  within  the  crust  or  center  of 
the  earth.  This  fact  rests  upon  the  knowledge  of  the 
superior  effect  of  the  predominating  Hydrogen  of 
interplanetary  space,  over  that  of  the  inferior  mass  of 
Phosphorus  within  the  center  of  our  earth. 

31.  The  Gulf  Stream  is  composed  of  water  that 
is  rich  in  Phosphorus  and  Carbon.  The  outward 
Hydrogen  tendency  at  the  North  Pole  forces  the  cur- 
rent into  existence  through  the  absorbing  effect  of  the 
Hydrogen.  The  position  of  the  Magnetic  Pole,  a  Hydro- 
gen force,  favors  a  current  from  the  Atlantic  Ocean 
instead  of  from  the  Pacific  Ocean.  One  of  the  reac- 
tive effects  of  this  drift,  through  the  subjective  nature 
of  Nitrogen  and  Carbon,  is  the  basaltic-pillar  formation 
in  the  Hebrides  and  the  north  of  Ireland.  London 
fog  proceeds  from  the  same  cause.  All  fogs  resemble 
emulsions,  and  have  a  common  cause,  which  involves 
the  elements  Carbon  and  Nitrogen. 

32.  Magnetism  is  a  force  involving  the  vibrations 
of  three  gases  only.  A  certain  degree  of  heat  (Phos- 
phorus) destroys  the  magnetic  effect.  Consequently 
lh<-  superior  vibrations  of  Phosphorus  within  the  mag- 
netic iron  are  lacking  in  the  effect.  The  curved  travel 
of  magnetic  force  infallibly  locates  the  vibrations  of 
Carbon  gas,  either  with  or  without  Nitrogen.  All 
curves  in  the  universe,  if  unobstructed  by  cohered 
complex  matter,  proceed  from  the  superior  vibrations 
of  Carbon  and  Nitrogen.  Among  these  effects  may 
be    noticed    the    shapes  of   all    leaves,  stems,  fruit    and 

Mowers  iii  the  entire  vegetable  world  ;  the  Carbon  and 
Nitrogen  giving  the  permanent  form  and  the  Phos- 
phorus supplying  the  acid.     During   growth,  or  the 

green  season,  escaping  Hydrogen  fashions  the  form  oi 


both   leaves,  stems,  flowers  and  fruit.     Tendrils  con- 
tain predominating  Nitrogen   and  Carbon.    The  affin- 
ity of  certain  atoms  of  certain  plants  for  the  atoms  of 
inorganic  matter,  aided  by  other  conditions,  causes  ivy 
to  climb  a  wall,  and   engenders   the  entire  family  of 
parasitic  plants.     After  the  escape  of  Hydrogen,  dur- 
ing  the  fall,  all    parts  of  plants  curve,  through   the 
superior  force  of  ( iarbou.     In  the  animal  kingdom  the 
curved   travel  of  Carbon   and   Nitrogen    may  be  wit- 
nessed everywhere.     The  twist  of  a  pig's  tail  and  thai 
of  the  English    pug  dog  are  the  results  of    superior 
Carbon  vibrations   during  growth.     The  curved  bris- 
tles and  tusks  of  the  wild  boar  mark  a     excessive  de- 
gree of  the  Carbon.     The  trichina  spiralis  also  betrays 
the  special  Carbon  vibration,  a  little  Phosphorus  only 
being  needed  to  start  the  little  mass  of  Carbon  atom- 
into  an   animal.     The    tu>ks  of  the  walrus  and  of  the 
elephant,  as  well   as  the    trunk  of  the   latter,  are  the 
direct   results  of  the  superior  force  of  Carbon.     The 
resemblance  between  a   hog's  snout  and  the  terminus 
of  the  elephant's  trunk,  betrays  the  effect  of  Carbon. 
The   twisted    haii'  of  the  African    proceeds  from   the 
same  canst'  ;  also,  do  all  curly  hair  and  curves  (espe- 
cially the  ribs)  throughout   the  animal   kingdom  pro- 
ceed from    the   travel  of    the   same    element.      It    is 
through   this    method  of   pursuing  a   single  elemenl 
throughout  nature,  and  identifying  its  characteristics 
in  different  forms  that  one   is  led  to  identify  the  ele- 
ment Carbon  in  the  curved  travel  of  Magnetic  force. 
The  attraction  that   exists  between  a  natural   magnet, 
therefore,  and  a  piece  of  artificially-prepared  iron  that 
has  embedded  much  Phosphorus  and  Hydrogen  during 
the  Heat  process  of  extracting  it  from  the  ore,  is  simply 
the    natural  attraction  of   the    elements   Carbon   and 
Phosphorus  of  the  magnetic  body,  for  the  Phosphorus 
and  Hydrogen  of  the  soft    iron.      In   the   latter  body 
the  state  of  inertia  is   easily  susceptible  of  rupture, 
especially  by  the  united  force  of    Carbon   and    Phos- 


28 

phorus  (as  in  the  melting  of  metals),  or  by  the  united 
force  of  Carbon  and  Hydrogen.  The  same  force  is 
exhibited  throughout  nature  in  the  endless  cases  of 
"oxidation,"  or  of  "iron  rust,"  which  is  simply  the 
same  affinity  that  always  exists  between  Carbon  or 
Hydrogen  and  Phosphorus.  The  magnetic  attraction 
that  exists  between  mercury  and  gold  identifies  the 
same  elements  that  are  engaged  in  special  magnetic 
force.  In  the  case  of  artificially-prepared  magnets. 
which  are  composed  of  iron  or  steel  that  has  been 
long  subjected  to  an  electric  current  (Phosphorus  and 
Hydrogen)  the  element  Hydrogen  unites  with  the  free 
Carbon  in  an  attempt  to  reach  and  overcome  the 
Phosphorus  of  the  body  that  is  attracted.  In  all  cases 
of  affinities  throughout  nature  a  shade  of  force  pro- 
ceeding from  either  of  the  vibrating  elements  described 
will  produce  a  similar  shade  of  effect  in  composite 
matter.  The  attraction  that  exists  between  the  ele- 
ments of  water,  between  those  of  mercury  and  gold. 
and  between  those  of  soft  iron  and  the  magnet,  are 
identical,  as  they  engage  the  special  vibrations  of  the 
three  gases,  Phosphorus,  Hydrogen  and  Carbon. 

33.  Transparent  glass  is  composed  of  the  four  gases, 
of  the  four  different  vibrations,  or  colors.  Embedded 
Phosphorus,  or  "  Heat,"  during  the  welding  process, 
tin;  four  gases  embedded  in  eroded  silicon,  or  white 
sand,  together  with  other  matter  rich  in  the  four 
vibrations,  and  aided  by  similar  matter  from  the 
atmosphere  during  construction,  betray  the  four  con- 
stituents and  the  manner  of  the  transmission  of  colors 
by  continuity. 

34.  The  ethnological  divisions  of  the  human  race 
proceed  directly  from  excessive  vibrations  of  either  of 
tli''  lour  gases.  The  white  skin  of  the  Caucasian 
marks  an  approach  to  the  harmonious  relation  of  the 
four  gases.  This  relation  has  been  gradually  produced 
by  salt,  or  the  hidden  blue  Hydrogen  embedded  in 
salt.      The   skin    and   characteristics  of  the    Ethiopian 


29 

mark  the  superior  force  of  Carbon  and  Phosphorus. 
Those  of  the  Mongolian,  of  sulphur,  or  a  combination 
of  Bydrogen  and  Phosphorus.  Those  of  the  Indian, 
of  Nitrogen  and  Hydrogen.  Through  the  same  study 
of  the  natural  relation  existing  between  the  tour  gases, 
all  animal  forms,  from  a  microbe  to  a  whale  or  ele- 
phant, may  be  understood. 

35.  Salt,  which  is  a  hydrogen  effect,  containing 
intense  blue  vibrations,  is  one  of  the  remaining  evi- 
dences of  the  prehistoric  cooling  of  the  earth's  crust. 
AH  cooling,  or  subjection  of  the  dangerous  Phosphorus 
element,  or  heat,  is  first  effected  through  the  agency  of 
Hydrogen  alone,  in  its  natural  function,  hut  may  he 
aided  by  Nitrogen.  Modern  science  claims  that  salt 
is  ( Jhloride  of  Sodium,  and  that  each  of  these  constitu- 
ents is  an  element.  The  truth  involved  in  this  com- 
bination is  that  Chlorine  is  a  double  gas  (yellowish- 
green),  possessing  two  vibrations.  Sodium,  a  white 
metal,  is  composed  of  the  four  gases.  The  union  of 
the  two  so-called  elements,  the  affinity  being  extremely 
great  and  producing  all  the  salt  within  the  oceans  and 
within  the  earth's  crust,  is  effected  through  the  supe- 
rior vibrations  of  the  Hydrogen  and  Phosphorus  of 
both  kinds  of  matter,  the  former  predominating.  It 
is  also  claimed  that  pure  Sodium  when  placed  in 
water  will  immediately  take  tire  and  produce  grains 
of  salt.  The  errors  of  the  supposed  nature  of  ( Jhlorine 
and  Sodium  are  evident  upon  their  face,  when  it  is 
submitted  to  the  four-gas  analysis.  Sodium,  being 
composite  and  rich  in  Hydrogen,  disintegrates  the  two 
elements  of  water  (Phosphorus  and  Hydrogen)  through 
the  force  of  the  excessive  Hydrogen.  During  the  sep- 
aration the  Phosphorus  of  both  (dements  is  seen  and 
quickly  subjected.  Out  of  the  transition  a  new  com- 
bination, salt,  is  formed,  which  i>  always  rich  in 
Hydrogen  ami  al\vay>  continues  to  attract  the  same 
(dement  from  the  atmosphere,  on  account  of  the 
increase  of    Phosphorus.     Soda,  or    Phosphorus   and 


30 

Sodium,  possesses  a  slight  addition  to  the  Phosphorus 
constituent,  and  a  relative  increase  of  Hydrogen.  The 
alkali  property  is  always  a  Hydrogen  vibration.  Salt 
sensation  proceeds  from  an  excess  of  Phosphorus.    All 

bitter  sensations  proceed  from  intense  vibrations  of 
Hydrogen.  Many  cathartics  (bitter)  act  through  the 
agency  of  the  same  element.  Cryolite,  or  a  form  of 
composite  matter  that  abounds  in  sodium  or  blue 
vibrations,  is  one  of  the  results  of  the  excessive 
Hydrogen  of  the  North  Pole.  It  is  found  in  Green- 
land only,  and  is  used  for  preparing  the  soda  of 
commerce.  Rock  salt,  when  translucent  or  trans- 
parent, betrays  embedded  Phosphorus,  or  the  agent  of 
light. 

:!<').  The  diameter  of  the  earth  is  estimated  to 
be  nearly  eight  thousand  miles.  The  rise  of  the 
mercury  of  the  thermometer  one  degree  at  every 
sixty  feet  of  descent  fixes  the  estimate.  The  crust 
of  the  earth  has  cohered  principally  through  the 
agency  of  Hydrogen  and  Nitrogen.  The  correlation 
of  the  four  gases,  together  with  the  compression  exerted 
by  the  Carbon-Nitrogen  current  encircling  the  Phos- 
phorus globe,  has  created  the  igneous  rocks,  and  other 
stratified  portions  of  the  crust.  It  has  always  excited 
surprise  among  Geologists  that  evidences  of  water 
(Hydrogen  and  Phosphorus)  should  be  discovered  in 
igneous  rocks.  All  four  gases  ma}T  be  traced  at  first 
glance  in  granite. 

The  Hydrogen  of  the  atmosphere,  however,  being 
partially  cut  off  from  the  internal  sphere  of  Phos- 
phorus, through  the  partial  inertia  of  the  inorganic 
Crust,  it  becomes  evident  that  the  heat  of  the  earth, 
which  is  another  term  only  for  the  excess  of  internal 
Phosphorus,  will  never  cut  i rely  subside,  or  be  entirely 
overcome  by  its  relative  gas,  Hydrogen.  Occasional 
inhalations  of  Hydrogen,  however,  do  occur  through 
tic  craters  of  volcanoes.  And  when  this  does  take 
place,  Sulphur,  or  a  form  of   matter  composed  mainly 


of  the  yellow  and  blue  vibrations,  is  the  result  and  is 
cast  forth.  Smaller  proportions  of  Nitrogen  and  <  !ar- 
l)oii  produce  red  and  Mack  sulphur.  Nearly  all  of  the 
combinations  of  sulphur  produce  blue  effects. 

The  permeation  of  ocean  water  through  fissures  of 
the  earth's  crust  that  form  at  times  upon  the  sloping 
submerged  sides  of  continents,  causes  a  violent  union 
of  the  Hydrogen  of  the  water  and  the  internal  Phos- 
phorus, which  also  permeates  the  crusl  almosl  to  the 
outer  surface.  When  this  occurs  the  phenomenon  of 
an  earthquake  follows.  It  has  been  shown  that  Elec- 
tricity is  a  double  unrestricted  vibration  of  Phos- 
phorus and  Hydrogen.  This  being  true,  there  i- 
nothing  to  disprove  the  assertion  that  earthquakes 
frequently  result  from  the  generation  of  this  force 
within  the  crust  at  any  point,  since  it  is  known  that 
the  free  gases  exist  everywhere. 

37.  It  is  claimed  by  modern  science  that  Hydro- 
gen gas  is  inflammable,  and  that  it  "burns."  The 
illusion  surrounding  the  burning  process  and  attach- 
ing to  the  word  inflammable  may  he  dispelled  by  a 
more  advanced  insight  into  the  mutual  reaction  that 
always  takes  place  between  Hydrogen  and  Phosphorus. 
It  is  also  claimed  that  Oxygen  intensities  the  burning 
process,  or  supports  all  manner  of  combustions.  It 
has  never  yet.  however,  explained  the  scientific  para- 
dox of  the  exact  manner  in  which  water,  which,  it  is 
asserted,  is  composed  of  two  inflammable  gases,  and 
which  separate  from  the  water  with  extreme  ease, 
extinguishes  a  conflagration.  If  Hydrogen  were 
inflammable,  at  the  exact  moment  of  the  contact  of 
water  with  lire,  the  burning  process  would  he  inten- 
sified to  an  indefinite  degree.  The  illusion  may  he 
penetrated  by  the  following  explanation:  When  a 
mass  of  Hydrogen  is  secured  by  any  process  and  is 
allowed  to  escape.it  immediately  passes  off  into  the 
atmosphere  and  surrounds  the  hidden  Phosphorus, 
which    is   the  absolute  source  of  the   light   or   tire  ^\ 


32 

combustions.  However,  if  a  match  or  spark  is  intro- 
duced into  the  receptacle  the  Hydrogen  may  either 
explode  or  appear  to  burn.  The  truth  of  the  process 
is  that  the  spark  served  as  a  means  of  inducting  a 
quantity  of  Phosphorus  from  the  atmosphere,  under 
the  natural  affinity  thai  exists  between  the  two  gases, 
and  that  the  explosion  and  fire  resulted  only  from  the 
violent  vibrations  of  the  Hydrogen  and  the  resulting 
aggregation  of  Phosphorus.  If  the  flame  of  "  burning" 
Hydrogen  possesses  the  least  incandescence,  it  betrays 
the  presence  of  Phosphorus,  or  the  effect  of  the  pres- 
ence of  Carbon  gas.  If  the  flame  is  perfectly  blue  it 
betrays  hidden  Phosphorus,  which  is  surrounded  by 
the  Hydrogen.  If  the  latter  is  in  excess  the  flame 
of  burning  will  he  of  short  duration.  If  the  flame 
is  "  hot"  to  the  touch  it  betrays  the  presence  of  disin- 
tegrating Phosphorus.  Absolutely  pure  Hydrogen 
possesses  only  the  blue,  or  subjecting  vibration,  and 
is  always  intensely  cold  or  absorbing. 

38.  All  explosions  result  from  either  of  two  causes: 
The  obstructing  of  the  natural  path  required  for  the 
affinity  or  the  union  of  the  four  gases,  after  the  first 
vibration  tending  to  this  union  has  been  started  :  or, 
triple  vibrations  (forcibly  held)  that  require  the  fourth 
element  for  inertia,  and  forcibly  withdraw  the  latter 
from  the  atmosphere,  upon  concussion  (compressed 
Phosphorus  of  the  atmosphere)  or  a  supplied  spark 
from  match  or  fuse.  Black  gunpowder  is  an  example 
of  the  former  and  nitro-glycerine  of  the  latter. 

:!'.).  The  base  of  nearly  all  poisons  is  the  Hydrogen  - 
Phosphorus  vibration,  either  predominating,  which 
cannot  secure  inertia  except  through  the  process  of 
rupturing  the  tissues  or  absorbing  the  remaining  gases 
from  the  physical  relation.  Under  this  fact  of  lack  of 
inertia,  either  gas  may  act  as  a  poison  when  intro- 
duced, in  compact,  into  the  circulation  or  respiratory 
organs.  Carbon  Monoxide  poisons  through  the  exces- 
sive vibrations  of  the  Carbon   which   intensify,  when 


33 

inhaled,  and  aggregate  all  the  available  "oxygen"  or 
Phosphorus  of  the  tissues.  During  this  inhalation 
the  other  elements  also  are  inhaled,  bu1  are-subjective. 
Opium  poisons  through  the  agency  of  Nitrogen,  which 
is  a  gas  foreign  to  the  perfect  relation  existing  within 
the  brain  and  surrounding  it.  Strong  coffee,  the 
stimulating  property  of  which  proceeds  from  Hydro- 
gen, is  an  antidote  for  opium  poisons,  and  through  n> 
special  vibrations  carries  off  the  Nitrogen.  All  ano- 
dynes proceed  from  Nitrogen.  All  anti-febrile  reme- 
dies proceed  from  the  same  element  and  Hydrogen, 
on  account  of  the  functional  relation  of  these  two  to 
Phosphorus. 

40.  Sleep  is  always  produced  by  Nitrogen.  Arti- 
ficial sleep,  which  should  not  he  mistaken  for  the 
natural  process,  which  is  always  restoring  or  har- 
monic in  its  action,  may  also  be  produced  by  Nitrous 
Oxide  gas.  The  vibrations  of  the  Phosphorus  (oxide) 
carry  the  foreign  element  Nitrogen  to  the  brain  and 
cause  a  suspension  of  consciousness.  All  conscious- 
ness, from  incipient  perception  to  the  depths  of  reason, 
results  through  the  special  vibrations  of  the  two  ele- 
ments of  human  electricity,  Phosphorus  and  Hydrogen. 
Natural  sleep  at  night  is  facilitated  by  refraction  of 
solar  rays,  the  space  affected  by  the  refraction  being 
filled  by  an  excess  of  three  gases  and  a  reduced  pro- 
portion of    Phosphorus. 

All  human  emotions  arc;  intensified  through  the 
shifting  relations  of  the  four  ;etherial  gases.  The 
attraction  of  sex  acts  through  Hydrogen  and  Phos- 
phorus; one  of  the  sexes  aggregating  Nitrogen  and 
the  other  casting  if  off.  Inertia  is  the  object  of  this 
attraction.  Shame  and  anger,  and  all  like  emotions. 
act  through  excessive  Nitrogen.  Fear, through  Hydro- 
gen. Love,  through  a  harmonious  relation  of  the 
Phosphorus  and  Hydrogen  of  Mind.  An  insane  pri- 
son or  an  idiot,  a  person  who  is  unconscious,  <>r 
sleeping,  or  a   newly-born   infant   cannot    experience 


34 

the  sensation  of  i>uiv  love,  on  account  of  the  unnat- 
ural, foreign,  or  undeveloped  relation  that  must  exist 
between  these  two  gases  in  the  human  electricity  of 
Mind.  Lust  is  an  inorganic  force,  acting  in  the  human 
mechanism  through  an  overweight  of  subjective  Nitro- 
gen. The  more  developed  the  mind  (Phosphorus  and 
Hydrogen  in  its  spiritual  aspect),  the  less  will  be  the 
lust  (Nitrogen).  Laughter  proceeds  from  Phosphorus. 
Weeping,  from  Hydrogen.  Melancholia  proceeds  from 
the  same  element.  Excessive  melancholia  proceeds 
from  an  injurious  or  unnatural  relation  of  Phosphorus 
and  Hydrogen  in  encephalous  matter,  in  which  the 
Hydrogen  of  the  gray  matter  and  contained  within 
the  white  matter  of  the  nervous  system  overcomes  the 
Phosphorus,  and  continues  to  increase  its  effects  indefi- 
nitely. 

41. — All  diseases  of  the  human  organism   may  be 
divided  generally  into  four  great  classes: 

Hydrogen,  or  Blue  diseases. 
Phosphorus,  or  Yellow  diseases. 
Nitrogen,  or  Red  diseases. 
Carbon,  or  Fatty  or  Black  diseases. 

Pending  a  more  thorough  investigation  into  the 
complex  causes  of  a  great  many  of  the  diseases 
which  are  now  enshrouded  in  mystery,  the  following 
list  only  is  presented  upon  observation  that  has  suf- 
fered many  impediments.  Some  of  these,  therefore, 
may  proceed  from  the  unnatural,  accelerated  vibra- 
tions of  a  single  gas  in  the  human  mechanism,  or 
from  an  unnatural  lack  of  the  required  vibrations  of 
one  or  more  gases.  In  this  study,  the  cohered  matter 
of  the  mechanism  (muscle,  fat,  bones,  etc.)  must  not 
;wt  ;is  an  obstruction  to  free  investigation,  as  this 
matter  is  only  an  effect  and  not  the  source.  Acceler- 
ated vibrations  of  a  single  gas  in  unnatural  relation- 
within  the  body,  and  which  often  result  in  atrophy, 
must  be  reduced  by  accelerating  the  vibrations  of  the 


35 

gases  thai  are  lacking,  when  each  one,  of  the  relation, 
lias  been  discovered  through  the  diagnosis  of  color,  or 
other  infallible  effects.  All  required  remedies,  com- 
posed of  the  four  gases  only,  arc  now  recognized  and 
at  hand.  The  predominating  vibration  of  each  of 
these  remedial  effects  distinguishes  it  and  locate-  the 
special  gas  in  the  matter  of  anodynes,  stimulants, 
anaesthetics,  anti-febrile,  anti-septic,  anti-scorbutic 
remedies,  etc.  It  is  claimed  by  many  that  all  dis- 
eases may  be  overcome  through  the  exercise  of  will- 
power, or  faith.  Hence  the  devotees  of  these  special 
branches  of  healing  by  faith  or  Christian  Science. 
Obstinate  diseases,  however,  it  is  widely  attested,  do 
not  always  yield  to  the  methods  or  faith  of  these 
classes,  because  the  source  of  healing  is  not  under- 
stood, and  has  never  heretofore  been  understood. 
Jesus  Christ,  so  it  has  been  learned  through  the  clos- 
est inspection  of  the  record  of  his  life  and  acts,  healed 
diseases  and  performed  miracles  through  Divine 
power  and  perception  of  this  great  fundamental 
truth.  It  will  not  be  impossible  in  the  future,  there- 
fore, to  re-establish  harmony  or  health  through  means 
of  faith  ()]•  will,  when  the  absolute  cause  of  all  dis- 
eases has  been  learned  and  identified  in  special  recog- 
nized matter.  As  the  disease,  so  in  contrary  relation 
must  be  the  remedy.  Faith  and  Doubt  are  as  ma- 
terial, though  in  an  advanced  degree,  as  the  grosser 
cohered  forms  of  Materia  Medica. 

Hydrogen,  or  Blue  diseases:  Scurvy,  chills,  colds, 
grippe,  diphtheria,  whooping-cough,  bronchitis,  con- 
sumption, cholera,  dropsy,  spasms  of  children,  spinal 
meningitis,  fits,  leprosy,  delirium  tremens,  insanity, 
idiocy,  etc.     Also,  the  epizootic  of  animals. 

Phosphorus,  or  Yellow  diseases:  Fevers — scarlet 
fever,  yellow  fever,  eczema,  measles  (phosphorus  and 
nitrogen),  generation  of  pus,  small-pox,  jaundice, 
certain  kinds  of  rheumatism,  rabies  or  hydrophobia, 
urinary    complaints,  ascaris    (pin  worms),   tape    ami 


30 

stomach  worms,  and  all  bacteria  within  every  portion 
of  the  earth  and  atmosphere. 

Nitrogen,  or  Red  diseases:  Accumulations  within 
the  system  of  all  description,  on  account  of  the  sub- 
jective nature  of  Nitrogen  and  a  lack  of  sufficient 
Hydrogen.  These  are  apoplexy,  heart-failure,  swell- 
ings, tumors,  fungus  growths,  goitre,  mumps, 
calculus,  cancer,  tetanus,  or  locked-jaw,  ossification, 
humpback,  constipation,  hemorrhoids,  wens,  warts, 
moles,  corns,  bunions,  clubfoot,  gout,  etc.  The 
pedal  extremities  are  particularly  under  the  effect 
of  Nitrogen,  from  the  same  subjectivity,  or  weight. 
Nitrogen  is  also  identified  in  the  cause  of  tapeworm. 

Carbon,  or  Black,  or  Fatty  diseases:  Fatty  degen- 
eration of  various  organs,  obesity,  trichina  spiralis 
(Carbon  and  Phosphorus),  and  all  complex  diseases, 
as  diabetes  and  Bright's  disease.  Carbon  may  be 
either  especially  active,  as  in  fatty  degeneration,  or 
subjective,  like  Nitrogen,  according  to  the  superior  or 
inferior  force  of  the  Phosphorus  and  Hydrogen.  It 
is  presumed,  from  description,  that  one  or  more  of 
the  ancient  plagues  arose  from  Carbon.  The  bubonic 
plague  of  India,  and  the  beri-beri  of  the  tropics,  from 
the  closest  descriptions,  point  to  Phosphorus  and 
Hydrogen  as  the  combined  cause,  through  a  great  lack 
of  Nitrogen  and  Carbon.  Lack  of  certain  kinds  of 
food  products  that  would  tend  to  supply  the  required 
relation  of  Nitrogen  and  Carbon  in  the  mechanism 
no  doubt  nourishes  the  cause  of  the  disease. 

42.  Satellites  are  compressed  masses  of  nebulous 
matter  that  are  entirely  lacking  in  Hydrogen,  but 
abounding  in  Phosphorus,  Nitrogen  and  Carbon. 
These  luminous  bodies,  wherever  existing,  have  been 
accidentally  cut  off  from  the  greater  mass  of  the 
planet  matter,  by  the  force  of  the  Nitrogen-Carbon 
current,  in  the  early  period  of  creation.  A  close 
introspection  of  the  motions  and  other  mysteries  of 
satellites  proclaims  them  to  be  subjective  masses  of 


37 

luminous  matter,  and  entirely  dependenl  upon  the 
encircling  planet  currents  lor  their  revolutions.  Our 
moon,  therefore,  does  not  revolve  upon  an  axis,  but  is 
revolved   by   the   whirling   Nitrogen -Carbon    currenl 

encircling  our  earth.  A  lack  of  sufficient  Hydrogen 
prevents  the  independent  relation  of  the  gases  and 
creates  subjectivity  through  the  superior  quantity  of 
Nitrogen  and  Carbon  of  both  satellite  and  current. 
Satellites  revolve  around  planets,  and  follow  t  he  latter 
through  their  orbits,  because  outside  the  special  law 
governing  the  construction  of  planets.  It  has  been 
noticed  that  the  current  in  which  our  satellite  per- 
forms its  revolutions  around  the  earth,  otherwise 
termed  the  lunar  orbit,  suffers  a  serious  deflection 
when  nearest  the  Sun.  This  fact  simply  furnishes 
another  proof  of  the  propelling,  reactive,  anti- 
attractive  power  of  the  Sun. 

An  understanding  of  the  relation  of  the  three  pre- 
dominating gases  of  our  moon  establishes  the  fact 
that  if  its  entire  mass  could  escape  from  the  current 
in  which  it  is  embedded,  the  Hydrogen  of  outer  space 
would  dissolve  its  matter, would  create  a  comet  out  of 
a  portion  of  its  Carbon,  and  would  treat  the  earth  to 
a  hail  of  meteorites. 

It  has  always  been  a  theory  that  the  moon,  in  its 
individual  capacity,  exerts  an  influence  over  the 
waters  of  the  earth  (tides),  and  creates  diseases 
(blindness,  lunacy,  etc.).  The  very  opposite  condi- 
tion, so  it  transpires  from  the  closest  investigation, 
brings  the  truth  into  plain  view.  The  moon,  it  being 
subjective,  cannot  exert  an  influence  over  any  special 
kind  of  matter,  gaseous  or  cohered,  except  indirectly, 
and  even  then  to  a  doubtful  degree.  Notwithstand- 
ing the  fact  that  it  is  lacking  in  Hydrogen  to  a  great 
degree,  and  that  the  most  violent  affinity  exists 
between  its  Phosphorus  and  any  accessible  Hydrogen, 
yet  the  current  in  which  it  is  embedded  is  not  open 
for  the   influence   to  act.     If  it  were,  it  would  attract 


38 

the  Hydrogen  of  interplanetary  space.  The  moon  is 
simply  a  beacon  light  upon  all  the  powers  that  have 
been  ascribed  to  it.  Its  subjective  revolutions  and  its 
positions  from  perigee  to  apogee  establish  the  fact 
that  it  is  the  great  spiral  travel  of  the  Nitrogen-Car- 
bon current  encircling  the  nucleus  earth  that  exerts 
this  influence  over  the  Hydrogen  of  the  upper  atmos- 
phere, and  upon  all  the  mobile  cohered  matter  of  the 
earth.  The  travel  of  the  subjective  moon  through 
curves  of  the  spiral  is  indicated  by  seven  days,  which 
are  propagated  into  spans  of  seven  years.  It  is  this 
understanding  that  accentuates  the  connection  be- 
tween the  Nitrogen  effects  of  puberty  (fourteen  years) 
and  the  different  periods  of  gestation  in  all  branches 
of  the  animal  kingdom. 

The  actual  existence  of  the  Nitrogen-Carbon  cur- 
rent encircling  the  earth  should  not  be,  without  due 
investigation,  regarded  as  a  myth,  theory,  or  a  pro- 
duct of  an  overwrought  imagination.  The  proper 
method  of  gaining  a  true  insight  into  its  possibility 
is  to  hold  a  fifty-pound  meteorite  in  hand,  and 
endeavor  conscientiously  to  deny  its  existence.  It  is 
this  current,  and  no  other,  that  has  supplied  all  the 
meteorites  the  world  has  ever  seen,  the  specimens  of 
which  may  be  found  upon  the  shelves  of  all  institu- 
tions of  learning  throughout  the  land.  The  magnetic 
property  of  many  meteorites  is  due  to  the  special 
constituents  of  the  current  out  of  which  they  are 
formed. 

43.  The  drift  of  the  solar  Inhalations  of  Hydrogen 
aids  in  creating  the  orbits  of  planets.  The  natural 
relation  of  the  four  gases,  however,  which  tends  to 
the  state  of  inertia,  is  the  first  cause  of  the  orbits  of 
planets. 

44.  The  revolutions  of  planets,  suns,  asteroids, 
mid  satellites,  arc  evidences  of  a  lack  of  a  certain 
relation  of  the  four  gases  that  creates  the  state 
of  I  uertia.

45.  'The  inclination  of  a  planet  to  the  plane  of  its 
orl.it  is  due  to  the  drift  of  interplanetary  1  [ydrogen  to 
the  Sun. 

46.  The  eccentricity  of  the  earth's  orbil    may  be 

traced  to  the  combative  force  proceeding  from  the  drift 
of  Hydrogen  toward  the  Sun,  and  the  force  involved 
in  the  relation  of  gases  that  causes  the  revolutions.
